Another tournament... except this one was so, so not what I had experienced in the past. New rules and different judging styles. While I was there I was frustrated and upset, especially in kumite. It didn't make sense and didn't correspond with our training. The next day, I woke up and realized, this tournament(and all tournaments really) are about learning, not winning, but improving ourselves. We can't expect to know everything about karate in hardly a year of training. However, next tournament we will know what to expect. As long as we put in a sufficient amount of effort in training, based on what we have learned we can represent our dojo with pride.
Drama Queen
